I know I've been rather busy as of late, but I've been finishing up my last year of college, and now I'm graduated and simply unemployed. Because of this, I'm spending a lot of my time job hunting.

Plus, my graphic computer ate itself and I lost a decent amount of information because of a bad flashdrive, though I just got informed that they are able to recover it for me.

Meanwhile, I've been trying to flesh out the worlds of Bard Speeling and the Island Nations. One of these nations is based roughly on The British Empire back in the Victorian Era, and filled with creatures mentioned in Lewis Carrol's classic, if nonsensical, tales about Alice and the world of Wonderland.

Which means that Vast Tulgey Woods needs a new spin on the Jabberwock, Jubjub birds, Cheshire cats and Bandersnatches.

Aka, I like making stuff up. :3 I hope you enjoy this. I have plenty of projects waiting for me to finish once they return to my hands. Also! I'd like Color suggestions.


~~More information, copied from a comment I made~~

Most people draw jabberwocks on the original illustration made during the Victorian era. However, My thoughts on the matter is this: according to Victorian Era illustrations, The Iquanadon walked on all fours with its belly dragging on the ground, it's thumb spike attached to its nose.

I actually based this one on the original illustration, but I fleshed it out into a real creature and tried to think of what It'd be like in person vs what a Victorian explorer found as a skeleton or a badly decayed example of the species that had died of starvation and old age.

It has a narrow muzzle and long saber teeth made for severing the spine of a Bandersnatch -- but in its old age they have weakened and snapped, creating the buck toothed appearance when the explorer discovered the remains. Its got powerful and large eyes, but they are underneath flesh but have bugged out and glazed over in death. The cartilage in the ears and chin has weakened, drooping, and the membranes of the mouth and ears have tattered in frayed, leaving streamers of flesh like 'wiskers' from its mouth, making the gawky, almost rabbit like appearance they draw when they compile the living creature from their own imagination.

However, my drawing is of a prime, healthy young adult, likely female due to its smaller nose scales. The full creature [link] has small wings, not really useful for Flying, but as a young Jabberwock it was useful for gliding. As they got larger, the wings stayed about the same size, and are used mostly for display purposes.
